It's been one year (and ~20 podcast episodes) since I quit my 9 to 5 job. I'm wrapping up season two and it's time to share my story.

So, I flipped the script and let him interview me for this one! 

In this episode, Sam and Jared discuss:

• the how and why behind freedom lifestyle
• starting a business you’ll want to run
• millennial culture and lifestyle design 
• freelancing vs entrepreneurship

Dayna Langlois believes she's discovered the secret to living an authentic freedom lifestyle. The catch? It's controversial.

Dayna did everything right. She went to university, got a high paying job and starting to buy all the things. The financial freedom she was working for was evident by the things around her but she wasn't making the memories or collecting the experiences she had imagined. So, when Dayna was suddenly fired from her corporate sales job she took it as an opportunity to create her version of free.

What started as a journey to become Instagram famous, quickly became the pursuit of truth. Dayna is now debunking the myths and stigmas associated with making money online and gets real about the secret to how many women are finding success.

In this episode, Sam and Dayna discuss: 

• Getting fired from corporate   
• Creating brand partnerships as an influencer  
• How multi-level marketing works  
• Stigmas associated with multi-level marketing  
• Why women don't talk about money / their income

Ainsley Moir has always wanted to make an impact. Growing up she dreamed about working for global companies like Coca-Cola where she could use her marketing skills to shape the world’s biggest brands. So, she did. 

She spent a decade in corporate life before awakening to the fact that if she was working this hard to grow someone else’s brand, why can’t she just apply that energy to a business of her own. She tested a few different side hustles before picking one and taking the plunge to full-time free.  

Ainsley gets real about that transition - how she totally freaked out just weeks before quitting and the types of conversations she had to have with herself to make sure she did it anyway.
 

In this episode, Sam and Ainsley discuss:  

• How early mentors helped Ainsley land dream jobs  
• The disconnect she felt working in Consumer Packaged Goods  
• Various side hustles Ainsley tested on evenings and weekends  
• How content marketing is helping her land clients  
• The critical role branding plays in growing a business
